The Valdosta State University Plant Operations Department has
received a special "distinguished services" award from the Board of
Regents. The presentation, made by Vice Chancellor Linda Daniels at
an October 23 state Facilities conference, is unique." This is the
first award of its kind within the University System in that it is
not given to an individual but to a group of individuals,? said
Daniels. ?It has been created to recognize the collective work of a
Plant Operations unit over a period of years.? Daniels said the
award ?honors teamwork and partnership.? She added, ?when I first
came to the System Office several years ago I became familiar with
the work at VSU. Valdosta State has always responded to the
Facilities Office and to me in ways, which have been helpful and
which I shall always appreciate. A visit to the campus is proof of
the talent and dedication of Bob Bell, Bob Delong, Robert Tindall,
their management team and their employees. I am proud to present
this award to the Valdosta State University Plant Operations for
years of consistent, excellent work and for contributions to the
betterment of Valdosta State University and to the University
System."
